I am here in the deep in the dark
Whispering to you
Why do you run?
Why do you hide?
Why do I need to send up
Storms
Tempests
Before you will
Allow the message I send to open ears
To descend and reach your heart?
Turn
Turn within
Turn to me
Hear my voice
Do not run away
Pulled this way and that
By a hundred distractions
I am here
In the deep
In the dark
In the silent seemingly empty core of you
That you avoid
Waiting for you
To reach toward me
Open your ears
Open your inner eye
I am the child
You left behind so long ago
I am the most essential part of you
The part you learned to hide
I never died
But you died to me
Please come home to me
To what seems like an emptiness
But becomes full
When you embrace it
Turn within
Hear my voice
Give me a place to speak
Open the door once again
And welcome me and my pain
Into your heart
So that once again
I can have a home
With you
And together we can know
Joy
